Soso

This regal 1550's gown has an astonishing amount of detail work on it. Soso drafted her own patterns from period sources, dyed the fabrics and trims, embroidered the undergarments, added tons of beading, and even sewed the entire thing by hand. Now that's dedication! The results are truly gorgeous, and is it obvious that her year and a half of hard work on this project really paid off. Please take a minute to check out her journal for the construction of this outfit, and you can also see more finished pictures and her main webpage, which features a ton of other equally beautiful outfits from a variety of eras.
